Piano Tuner Discovers Gold Sovereign Coins Inside
In 2017, a fascinating discovery was made in Shrewsbury, England. Bishops Castle Community College sent an old piano to be repaired by a tuner. While taking the piano apart, the tuner stumbled upon a hidden treasure — the largest hoard of gold coins ever found in Britain! Inside the piano were 913 gold sovereign coins, dating from 1847 to 1915. The Coroner’s Court of Shrewsbury declared the find 'treasure,' meaning the College and the tuner got to split the proceeds. The coins were valued between $400,000 and $600,000. Despite fifty people coming forward to claim the treasure, the coroner ruled the true owner’s identity as 'unknown.' A remarkable find, reminding us that sometimes, the most unexpected places hold the greatest treasures.
